Question - What education do you need to be a paleontologist?

Since Paleontology is so specialized and so very complex you, of
course, need a strong undergraduate education with the typical comparative
anatomy, evolutionary bio courses etc. and then need to go onto grad
school...Usually a Ph.D. but a masters might due depending on the situation.
